Comfy casual summer skirts, but make them versatile. Taking these easy-breezy @anntaylor skirts from work to weekend with simple swaps. The embroidered skirt has an elastic waist - and roomy fit. Size down if between sizes. I'm in the XSP. The brown eyelet maxi skirt fits TTS. I'm wearing the XSP. Both styles are available in petite sizing. I'm linking a few similar styles, since the pieces I'm wearing are moving quickly!

Packing for a summer weekend in Charleston… but make it petite-friendly ✨

These are the pieces I’d actually bring when I want to look put-together without overheating:
– a breathable matching @target crochet set for daytime exploring
– an easy floral dress from that works from brunch → dinner [looks boutique but it's @walmart]
– a versatile @anntaylor skirt that can be styled multiple ways

Because when you’re petite, it’s not just what you wear—it’s how it fits, drapes, and moves in the heat 👏🏼

Everything here is easy, feminine, and designed to look a little more elevated than it costs (we love that)

The Ann Taylor skirt is available in petite-sizing, but runs on the large side. I'm wearing the XSP. If you're between sizes, size down.

My floral dress is selling out fast, so I'm linking some similar dresses that achieve the same look.

Let's rate @quince summer dresses for petite women. I tested several styles, so you can buy with confidence. I'm sharing my honest thoughts on how these work unaltered on a 4'11 frame. I'm wearing an XS in each style. For sizing reference, my measurements are 33-26-36. summer dress | travel dress | Quince dresses | 100 percent linen dress | wedding guest dress

Scandinavian summer packing list - After spending four summers teaching abrod in Stockholm, here is what I'd pack if your goal is to blend in with the stylish, minimalist, functional type of dressing that is popular in the Nordic countries.

I used to overpack for every trip… just in case.

Now I pack for nearly 2 months in a carry-on and somehow have more outfit options.

The difference? Finding pieces that DO the work, like this 100% linen set from Quince.

It's become my go-to because it’s:
– lightweight but polished
– easy to dress up or down
– and works across every setting (travel days, dinners, exploring… all of it)

It’s one of those pieces that quietly replaces half your suitcase.

If you’ve been looking for elevated basics that make packing easier, this is a good place to start.

Not all loafers deserve a spot in your closet. Some look good… but punish your feet by noon.Others feel fine… but lack sophistication.This one does it ALL with an airy, breathable twist. This style from @vivaia is a rare find: structured, polished, and comfortable enough for long days on your feet. The toe looks sleek, but has a roomy, wide-foot-friendly fit and arch support that doesn’t quit.I’ve been reaching for these so often, my other flats are starting to feel a little nervous.

I've been living in this easy breezy summer dress from @quince. The ruffled shoulders add femininity and the smocked bodice ensures a petite-approved fit. 100% cotton makes it ideal for hot summer days. Love the subtle stripes and cheerful blue color. Other colorways available. I'm wearing the XS. Pair with a convertible clutch and white sneakers for a laid back yet photo-ready travel look.

This silk shirt is the summer travel staple I bring to Europe every year. It's called the Amalfi for a reason - so chic, so breezy, so elegant. And it's now available in petite sizing! I'm wearing the XS regular and would love to scoop up the small for an even more tailored fit. Pairs beautifully with dark denim or white shorts for a warmer day. @lilysilk offers great quality for the price point.

Summer calls for breezy sandals and chic linen dresses. Here are two of my favorite 100% linen styles from @quince paired with Cosy Island block heel sandals. This is my summer uniform! The A-line linen dress has pockets and adjustable straps. The smocked dress is super petite friendly. Both have multiple colors available.

You're closer to HYGGE than you think ✈️Here are the items I grab to recreate this Danish feeling of warmth and coziness at home - and the travel pieces I don't leave home without.

These little touches add warmth and softness, both when entertaining AND for boosting your own mood day-to-day:

• Slow down, put your phone down, and truly soak up the view, your coffee, or a favorite movie (preferably with someone you love)
• Lighting sets the mood & conversation softened by REAL candlelight is pure magic
• One can never have too many cozy blankets and throws on hand
• Treat your table and food as a work of art - plating & presentation make eating a moment not a meal

Tonight, try this: Dim the lights, pour something you love, wrap up in something soft and be fully there.

We need to rethink the Mary Jane for petites. Because the old rules? They're outdated.

Yes, some styles can shorten your leg line (especially in dark, high contrast colors)... but a refined, low-heeled version like this one from Ally Shoes does the opposite! The sleek pointed toe, neutral color, and lower vamp (the part of the shoe that covers the top of the foot) gives you legs for days. Yes, even at 4'11!

A little lift. A cleaner shape. A longer line.

Petite styling isn't limiting when the design is thoughtful.

Petite-friendly linen set from Quince. These high-waisted shorts have an elastic waist and deep functional pockets. 100% linen, great for travel, easy care - breathable and relaxed. Style with a sleek white top for warmer days and sneakers for sightseeing. Dress it up with wedges when you want a more polished look. Wearing the XS in the linen button up and an XS in the shorts. @quince

The kind of dress that just works on a petite frame 🤍

The vertical stripe of this @quince beauty keeps everything feeling elongated (not overwhelmed), while the smocked bodice creates a naturally tailored fit—no alterations needed.
And the tiered skirt? It gives you movement without adding bulk 👏I’m wearing the XS.

Easy, breathable, and one of those throw-on-and-go pieces that still looks put together. #quincepartner
✨ Petite-friendly details I love:
• elongating stripe pattern
• defined smocked waist
• lightweight tiering that doesn’t overpower

Also sharing the other Quince linen dresses in my summer collection. I wear these all on repeat. They're also petite friendly - the other three have pockets!

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

My go-to linen shorts set for travel! This 100% linen set from @quince takes versatility to new heights.

Pair with the button up during cooler weather or remix each piece separately to stretch your vacation wardrobe. #quincepartner

When you want to look put together… without overthinking it. Two effortless options from @quince I keep reaching for this season:

• an easy, feminine dress that instantly feels polished
• a breathable linen set that’s relaxed—but still elevated

Both are simple, versatile, and actually work for a petite frame (no overwhelming fabric, no awkward proportions). Wearing the XS in the dress and XS in the linen shorts and blouse. The bags are also from Quince. I’m 4’11 for sizing reference. #quincepartner #liketkit

One thing I’ve learned after years in front of the camera: elegance is usually just a few thoughtful details.

The outfit doesn’t always change… the styling does - and it's built around closet classics. Linking a few of my go-to pieces here. 1) a striped silk blouse 2) a classic pleated skirt 3) a suede mini skirt from Sezane 4) a cozy cashmere sweater

Here are those pieces styled two ways:
• casual
• elevated
